Client Testimonials
“Dear Toni – I cannot thank you enough for taking my case at what was a very dark time for me. Again, I looked long and hard for a superior attorney, and was so grateful when you accepted the case. Because of the outcome, I will wipe out all my debt and be able to jump into a job I love with both feet. Thank you again for all you’ve done.”
“Dear Toni – Thank you for representing me in my legal matter with my former employer. It was a stressful situation but you were always there. You fought extremely hard for me and I am very pleased with the outcome. I received more than I expected. You are truly a blessing and I can’t thank you enough.”
“Dear Ms. Jaramilla, just a note to thank you for responding to my letter. Prior to my sending your letter, I sent letters to attorneys in Sacramento, thinking that since they were where policy is made, they would understand what I was trying to convey. No answers from these attorneys at all. Thank you for responding. Courtesy and background always show!”
“Thank you for all the help you provided me in my recent legal matter. You guided me skillfully through the process with the claim I had filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against my former employer. Because of your efforts, I was able to receive a cash sum without having to go through the time, effort, and cost of a federal or state trial. Your professional services were excellent. I have already recommended your outstanding legal services to several friends of mine.”
"Toni is an EXPERT in employment law, it’s evident in everything she says and does, but Toni is a great listener. She cared about what I needed and she knew how to navigate the situation when it mattered the most. She fought hard for me in mediation and her tenacity completely turned everything in my favor. I received a settlement that was so far beyond what I could have imagined. I am eternally grateful."
"Our duty in life is to promote the universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion."
